VOLUME 10 COLORED PEOPLE SENO PROTEST TO THE PRESIDENT Declares That. Never Before Has an Administration Shown Discrimination New York, August 17.—In protest against the present administration's discrimination against the colored race, the letter has been sent to President Wilson by the National Association for the Advancement of the Colored People: The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, through its board of directors, respectfully protest against the policy of your administration in segregating the colored employees in the departments at Washington. It realizes that this new and radical department has been recommended, and is now being defended, or the ground that by giving certain bureaus or sections wholly to colored employees they are thereby rendered sater in possession of their offices and are less likely to be ousted or discriminated against. We believe this reasoning to be fallacious. It is based on a failure to appreciate the deeper significance of the new policy; to understand how far reaching the effects of such a drawing of caste lines by the federal government may be and how humiliating it is to the men thus stigmatized. "Never before has the federal government discriminated against its civilian employees on the ground of color. Every such act heretofore has been that of an individual state. The very presence of the capital and of the federal flag has drawn colored people to the district of Columbia in the belief that living there under the shadow of the national government itself they were safe from the persecution and discrimination which follow them elsewhere because of their dark skin. Today they learn that, though their ancestors have fought in every war in behalf of the United States, in the fiftieth year after Gettysburg and emancipation, this government, founded on the theory of complete equality and freedom for all citizens, has established two classes among its civilian employees. It has set the colored apart as if mere contact with them were contamination. The efficiency of their labor, the principles of scientific management are disregarded, the possibilities of promotion if not now will soon be severely limited. FOR ROUTINE SERVICE "To them is held out only the prospect of mere subordinate routine service without the stimulus of advancement to high office by merit, a right deemed inviolable for all white natives as for the children of the foreign born, of Italians, French and Russians, Jews and Christians who are now entering the government service. For to such imitation this aggregation will inevitably lead. Who took the trouble to ascertain what our colored clerks thought about this order, to which their consent was never asked? Behind screens and closed doors they now sit apart as the high leprons. Men and women alike have the badge of inferiority pressed upon them by Government decree. How long will it be before the faithful epithets of "nigger" and "Jim-Crow" are openly applied to these sections? Let any one experienced in Washington affairs, or any trained newspaper correspondent, know. The colored people themselves will tell you how soon sensitive and high-minded members of their race will refuse to enter the government service which this decree what is to them the most tainted kind of discrimination. Indeed, there is a widespread if far among them that this is the very purpose of these now warrantable orders. And whenver there are men who rob the N. Nazis of their votes, who exploit and deceive and insult and lynch those whom they call their inferiors, there this mistaken action of federal government will be cited as the warrant for new racial outrages that are out to high Heaven for redress. Who shall say where discrimination once began shall cease? Who can deny to every act of discrimination the world breeds fresh lives. CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS "For the lowly of all classes you have lifted up your voice and not in vain. Shall ten million of our citizens say that their civic liberties and rights are not safe in your hands? To ask the question is to answer it. They desire a "New Freedom," too, Mr. President, yet they include in that form nothing else than the rights guaranteed them by the constitution under which they believe they should be protected from persecution based upon a physical quality with which divine providence has endowed them. "They say therefore that you, born of a great section which prides itself upon its chivalry towards the humble and the weak, prevent a great injustice which is The McDowell Times. and justice in the best because it was a trusted in some quarters by a genuine desire to and that now degenerated against "Yours for justice. THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF COL-ORID PEOPLE By M. OREFIELD STORY. President. W. E. BURGHART DE BOIS. Director of Publicity. HOLCOMBE DEFENDS HOME AGAINST WHITE INTRUDERS Tamps, Fla.—On the night of July 23 at about 1 o'clock three white men entered the home of Columbus Holecombe, an Afro-American, residing in a town near this place, claiming to collect a bill from one of Mr. Holecombe's lodgers. Mrs. Holecombe demonstrated with the men, and they in turn cursed her. Holecombe arose and told the intruders that he did not curse before his wife and did not allow any man, white or black, to curse her. The white man fired two shots in the house, and Holecombe seized his revolver and shot repeatedly until one of the white men was killed and the other two were unmed. Holecombe and Charles Hall, he toller, were arrested and taken to the county jail. On July 25, after an investigator upon the part of County Sect. it or Jaken, they were released on the grounds that they had acted in self defense. This decision has surprised many of the Negro white people, as they had hoped for a lynching be. The colored men were advised to leave this vicinity. The editor of the Tampa Daily Times in commenting on the affair said that Solicitor Jackson distrikt in excerating the Negroes. This impartial comment, coming from the pen of a southern white man, shows that not all the white people of the south are enemies to the colored people. The Times says: "It is too much the habit of a certain class of white men to act in their dealings, with Negroes, so the latter had no rights of any kind that the dominant race is compelled to respect. This is in the highest degree reprehensible and should receive outspoken condemnation of all those who recognize the error, the criminality of such a case of action. "All men are equal before the law and have the same right to its protection in the enjoyment of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. "Reverse the positions of the parties of the Port Tampa affair and consider what a bowl of execution would, have arisen throughout the country at the deeds of the black friends that attacked the home of a peaceable citizen in the dead hour of night attempting to murder the inoffending man and his helpless wife in their home all for the alleged purpose of collecting a trifling debt. "There would be talk and perhaps the grim reality of a lynching, and it would be well deserved, as many another crime of the kind that has been in silence condoned." HAVE ISSUED NO ORDERS FOR RACE SEGREGATION Washington, August 6 - No formal orders for the segregation of colored and white employees have been enforced in any government department in Washington, according to statements made by department officials. The question came up in connection with the introduction in the Senate last week of a resolution by Senator Clapp providing for an inquiry to determine if such an order had been issued for the postal service. The chief clerks of different departments, including the Postoffice Departments, declared today that no such orders have been issued. They added that as a general thing it was customary for colored employees to keep more or less to themselves, but that no formal action had ever been taken. A particularly large number of colored people are employed in the Treasury Department, but it was said that there is no formal segregation except in regard to the lavatory facilities. In the Department of Agriculture very few colored people are employed, except as laborers, and therefore the question has never arisen. The chief clerk of the Interior Department said no formal segregation orders have been issued there. The question has never come up in a definite manner in any department, it was said, and no ruling has ever been required. INVESTMENT COMPANY HELP TO NEGROES Danville, Va., Aug. 15.-The Industrial Savings, Loan and Investment Co., with a paid up capital of $25,000, is a Negro organization of this place, that is proving a great success. The company, in addition to helping Negroes secure homes in the city, owns considerable real estate, much of which is business property. A large auditorium of pressed brick, is one of its holdings. J. R. Wilson, the secretary, is a big factor in making a success. KEYSTONE WEST VIRGINIA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 22, 1913 FRANCE AND HER AFRICAN RESERVES "The Black Soldiers of France," as the Paris Soleil calls them, may be booked upon as an ace or two, up the sleeve of that country. Both the French and German press either frankly allow or plainly hint that the coming duel of nations is to be that of the Tenton and the Gaul. Yet, while Germany boasts her growing population and the prospect of trop after crop of sons who shall live to be soldiers, while the newspapers of Berlin laugh to scorn the efforts that France has made by a three year law to check-mate the moves of the Fatherland, the military headquarters at Paris, whose functionaries are many of them soldiers tried and tested in African wars, point to the regiments of Algerian, Tankine, and other disky warriors as men who will be found well able not only to maintain the integrity of the French colonies, but also to fight side by side, with French regiments in Europe should a continental war ever threaten France. A detachment of these dark sons of Mars has recently been visiting Paris, as the GATADOS of that city says: "Sixteen hundred soldiers, young, active, well drilled-tirailleurs of sharp-shooters of Senegal, Algeria, Tonkin and Amman, have come to breathe for a while the air of that France of which they have been at a distance the courageous servants. Sixteen hundred n-arched to Longchamp and called up before our eyes the vision of our empire's colonial army; sixteen hundred who made us think of the thousands of braves who cluster beneath our flag and do battle for it." The foreign contingent was received with enthusiasm by the populace, who shouted as the foreigners marched by: "Three cheers for the tirailleurs, for France, for the Three Years' Service!" This demonstration of popular favor, joined with the fine appearance of the men, occupa the Paris Solen to remark: "At the very moment that we are searching, not like Diogenes, for a man, but for men numerous enough to defend our soil in the hour of need, why should we not turn our eyes to the land of Africa? She now offers us whole armies." The ancient empires fell into decay as soon as they began to engage the services of mercenaries, this paper proceeds to say. But: "These are no mercenaries which can be bought. We is no Carthage; she enlists, she fosters courage and self-sacrifice; she does not pay for them. It is with something like filial affection that these primitive forces, these recruits of the wild land (cadets de la brouse), lavish their devotion on France. All witnesses agree that there is enthusiastic affection and tender admiration in the fidelity of the black soldiers. To them their French chiefs are at once divinities and comrades, masters and brothers. A white heart beats beneath the black bosom. Such is the contagious spirit derived from contact with our national energy." Dr. M. A. Lerande, principal physician of retired Navy men, declares that he admits "the value, in Europe, of the African black as a soldier, but urges on the French War Office to prepare the foreign legionaries "for the new climate and the new environment," since we have not yet had an opportunity "of observing a mass of black African troops collected in civilized regions." In time of peace, Dr. Lerande writes in the REVUE (Paris), let us prepare these foreigners for European war. Thus: "In order that we may count upon the black army in Europe...on the outbreak of war, we ought to consider the question at the time of complete peace, in order to organize such an army in view of this war, and to prepare it for its work without hurry or haste of any kind. "Now this fitness for European conditions can not be produced in the black without due preparation. Therefore we must each year bring over from Algeria into France, one by one, not mere detachments, chosen at random, but whole regiments, who may sojourn here for months. Say a regiment every year, or at least a battalion to begin with. This regiment we should make to travel thru the length and breadth of the land, from the north to the south, to the grand maneuvers of autumn in the Center to the grand maneuvers of winter in the East. The most important advantage would result from putting the black army in immediate, if not intimate, contact with the French soldiers of all arms, with their various organizations for combat. From a purely military standpoint, such a course of training would be by no means unprofitable."—Literary Digest YOUNG MAN DIES Samuel Craft, aged 25 years, died Wednesday night August 13. He was taken suddenly ill on Saturday night and grew steadily worse until the end came. Pneumonia was the cause of death. Samuel Craft had been in the employ of the Harper brothers for a number of years and was known as a sober, honest and reliable young man. He is survived by a mother, father, two sisters and a brother, all of whom are living in Bluefield where the deceased was buried. A MIXTURE OF -RACES Father Indian; Mother White; Nursed and Educated by Negroes COURTS CALLED UPON TO DECIDE RACE OF OKLAHOMA GIRL. Muskogee, Okla., August 20---Whether Viola Brown, 'a beautiful white child with golden hair and deep blue eyes shall establish her social status as a white person or a Negro will be determined by the courts of Muskogee county this month. Her story is one of the most tragic, if not romantic, of all the curious entanglements that have resulted from the intermingling of nations in the old Indian Territory. Viola Brown is the child of a white mother and a one-quarter-blood Cherokee Indian. Since she was 4 days old she has been mothered by Mortha Jones, the wife of one of the wealthiest Negroes in Oklahoma. The fact that the report became current that this woman was bringing this white girl up and training her to become wife of her son of the same girl brought the action in court which will forever determine the social status of the girl. Relatives of the girl's father, long since dead, have invoked the authority of the courts to establish the standing of the girl and make it a permanent record so that in the future her past shall not arise, ghostlike, and wither her happiness. The foster parents of the child have employed excellent legal talent and will fight to retain possession of their land so long as they have any standing in court. A. P. PRICE SUCCUMBS TO TUBERCULOSIS Rev. A. P. Price, one of the oldest residents at Elkhorn, having been with the Upland Coal and Coke Company for over eighteen years, died Saturday morning, August 18th at his home. He leaves a wife and five children to mourn his on timely death. He was one of the Deacons in the Upland Baptist Church and was a life long friend to Rev. McKoy, his pastor. He was a member in good standing with the McKinley Memorial Lodge 33, Knights of Pythias; of Gussette burg 5083, G. U. of Old Fellows; and one of the leading members of Elkhorn Council 197, I. O. of St. Lukes. He was one of the best citizens in the county, a g. o. Christian gentleman, and was a race man of the highest type. He had been sick for more than a year. His funeral was preached by Rev. H. H. McKoy, his pastor, before one of the largest crowds of acquaintances that has ever been seen turn out on occasions of this kind throughout this section of the state. He was buried in Pocahontas in the Johnson Investment Cemetery with honors that usually are given alone to men of the highest type in character and influence such as was beftaking to the demise of this, our friend Rev. A. P. Price. The fraternities of his choice as above stated, all met at the Upland Baptist Church, of which he was a member, and there formed themselves into a line of march and it is lightly stating a truth when we say that one of the finest lines of march with a parade composed of the Pythians in the lead headed by the officers of McKinley Memorial Lodge under the direction and management of Squire Wm. Sadler, who practically directed the same, was one of the most flattering approvals of the real good life of a man ever seen. The St. Lukes followed in the parade and the Old Fellows dignified brought up the rear. The body was taken to the Johnson Investment Company's cemetery at Pocahontas, Va. FRIEND CLIFFORD KNOWS HOW TO STOP A MOB Lawlessness has away enough now without those in authority giving way to it. It was wrong to take the fiend---Stone---to Moundsville to prevent a talked-of lynching. Three ernest men could deny all the lynchers in Berkeley county, and that would have taught the bravado element a life-long lesson, as they got 30 years ago, when Messrs. Dr. Mesherry, Capt. Colston and Arbibald Oden with gun in hand stood on the Cumberland Valley bridge and defied a raging mob, who had a Negro at said place to kill him, and every one skulked off, the Negro taken back to jail, and later proved himself innocent of the charges against him.---Pioneer Press. BUCKING THE TAMMANY TIGER (By S. B. Moon.) Tammy Hall as a political organization has no equal in endurance. Many individuals and collections of individuals have backed Tammy and beaten Tammy, but Tammy has never been conquered. It always comes back stronger than before its defeat. Its recuperative powers are marvelous; its vitality is inexhaustible; and its courage is indistinguishable. Tammy is the world's most unique political institution. Neither at home or abroad can its superiour be found. We are persuaded that the mere distribution of political spoils alone could never have built up and kept intact such an oligarchy. Ireland has not been freed and it may be that Irish patriotism and love of the "old soul" having been strangled at home by John Bull's unrelenting hand, has made Democracy its god and Tammy Hall its shrine. Governor Sulzer is the latest hero to attack the "dragon" and the governor's friends are by no means sanguine of victory for their champion. Tammany seems to be carrying war to its opponent with a vigor that bodies no good to the governor and his followers. Yet 'tus well to remember that the race is not given to the swift but to him and to them who endure to the end. We think the governor is without blame and ought to triumph. If he does, he will thereby acquire imperishable fame in not only America, but world politics. For many years there has been a nation wide assault upon corrupt politics and pilfering politicians. Graft has been routed in many municipalities and states. Tammany, the grand objective point of attack has withstood all of the onslaughts made upon it. In the advocates of pure politics and government without corruption can overthrow Tammany in the fight that is now on, the future will be unstructured by its malign influence; for it will surely die, never again to be resurrected. The Republican party of the state of New York and of the nation is deeply concerned in the outcome of the Sulzer-Tammy immigroglio. No matter which may be victor the Republican party is bound to profit by the fight in the Democratic household Tammy and Gov Sulzer are the fighting cocks. Ere long one will conquer the other and crow over the prostrate form of the fallen cock. Then the Republican party, like Sir Reynard (the wily old fox) will step forward and dine summonously on the fallen cock and the crowing cock with perfect impartiality. Whenever an insurrection breaks out against kingly authority, all crowned heads regard it as a personal assault and hasten to aid their royal brother or sister as the case may be. In the fight between Governor Salzer and Tammany all the forces of corrupt politics all over the U.S. will hasten to give all the aid that they can to the common cause of which Tammany is the exponent. Many a man bitherto esteemed as a patriotic citizen will ally himself with his friends on the side of Tammany and another confession of hypocrisy will adorn the record of political treachery. 'Though Salzer laborers under the burden of Democracy, there is no doubt but that he is a true tribune of the people. A Paper read by Mrs. H. L. Lord Before the Missionary Society of Keystone This subject is very broad and may comprehend a large area, indeed the whole world. But I will not speak of it in its broadest sense, only from a local point of view. A missionary is one sent on a mission; a society is a collection of individuals. Hence we are a collection of individuals sent upon a mission having a certain object and a certain work. There are many things we as a society can do around here. As a Church society, we are to work for the Church, or that is to say, do what we can to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the head of the Church. It seems to me the first thing we should do, not one but all, is to attend the meetings regularly and punctually. It is as much our duty to be on time at the beginning of our meetings as to give money or pray, and we should see to it that we are in our places on time and ready to do anything we can to make the meetings interesting. We may not be able to do great things but the little ones well done, those that come in our way, we should do with a willing heart and mind. As God has given us strength let us with our might what our hands we'll find to do. We should interest the young people in our effort of uplift. There may be some young people on our streets that kindness and gentleness may win to our meetings. Our mission is not to the young or those that are cared for by others, but to those that seem to have no one to care for them, no one to speak a kind word to them, no one to lead them to Jesus, those who are most liable to imbibe the lowest of our town; and to try to instill in them the noble, and teach them of Jesus who is able to save. This young are diamonds in the rough, and beneath those uncouth manners and rough ways may be found the image of Christ. It is ours, dear sisters, to find that image. What are we? But an instrument in God's hands to lead the young to Christ. It takes consolation, it takes faith in God. It takes prayers for guidance and a knowledge of the Bible, all of which is plainly within our reach and can be gotten if we are really interested in the work of missions. Third While we can help the young, we can also help the older people in many ways. The reason I dwell on the young so long is because if we win the young for Christ, the world will bow at His feet. And another part of our work is the raising of money Unless we have money we can do but little; with it we can do much. Our schools need help. I have thought it would be a grand thing if this society was able to maintain scholarship in one of our schools. And that some poor neglected child who has a good talent might be educated by us for usefulness and sacrifice in God's name. There are people both young and old that if we had money to help them dress a little better we could win them for the Church. Dear Sisters, this is the object of a Missionary Society and more than that I cannot mention here. Whether we do not or not depends on each of us. Are we willing to make the sacrifice? Are we willing to say from the depth of our heart "Lord here am I, send me, send me." If we are, we are prepared for this work. If not, we can hardly be used in Jesus' Name. This is part of the object before us, this is the work upon us; in Jesus' name let go forth into the harvest for the fields are white already. AUGUST BELMONT TO HAVE NEGRO NEIGHBORS Hempstead, L. I., August 15.---August Belmont will soon have negro neighbors, if Mrs. George MacCarroll has her way, it is said today. Mrs. McCarroll, whose husband is in the grocery business in Brooklyn, lives at Dennett avenue and Columbia street, her residence being not more than 1,000 feet from the Belmont home. Owing to quarrels with some of her neighbors she has decided to move and she advertised in local papers, offering to rent her home to negroes. The "ad" reads: "Will rent my house, sixteen rooms, all improvements, acre of ground, to three or four colored families; or it will be suitable for a large colored boarding house. The tenants may have the use of chicken coops, incubators, &c. Reasonable rent. Apply to Mrs. George McCarroll." Mrs. McCarroll says she has been insulted by some of her neighbors, who have sarcastic remarks about her and has decided to move. INDIAN RIDGE GIANTS MAKE TOY BABIES OF ROCKY MT BALL PLAYERS The would be ball tossers at Rocky Mount out on the Red Guillegas of Virginia believing they could play ball, took an occasion to become famous by challenging the Indian Ridge Giants of old rich West Virginia. Their challenge was accepted. The Rocky Mount had wery quickly shown they had not learned the first principles of ball playing. They were so ignominiously defeated at every angle of the game till it is generally understood that the Rocky Mount ladies and gentlemen all are wanting to discover Rocky Mount, V.a., for their home. All three games played were won with ease and to the shame and disgrace of the Rocky Mount boys by the ever invincible Indian Ridge Giants of West Virginia. ROANOKE GIANTS FALL VICIM TO INDIAN RIDGE GIANTS the bragadocio challenge of the Roanoke Giants to the Indian Ridge Giants play three games of ball on their own diamond a few days resulted in a "white wash" of the would-be Roanoke Giants. The games were as follows: First Game 6-1 in favor of the Indian Ridge. Second game, six to four in favor of the Indian Ridge team. The Roanoke Giants finding themselves no match for the West Virginian boys and desiring to be no further humiliated, refused to play the third game. Prof. D. W. Hylton, principal of the Elkridge Graded Graded School, was badly injured in the Algoma mines last week. He will lose a foot by injury. He was taken to the Miners Hospital at Welch. John A. Wright of Algoma sustained a painful injury a few days ago in the nines at Algoma by breaking his cellar bone. NUMBER 25 RACIAL QUESTION IS AMONG THE MOST IMPORTANT Colored Americans Taking Care of Own Problem, Says Dr. MacArthur In an able address at the national convention of traptist young people of America, which held its sessions at the Baptist temple, Brooklyn, for five days recently, the Rev. Dr. Robert Stuart MacArthus, who was for forty years or more pastor of the Calvary Baptist church in New York city, referring to the unjust discrimination and prejudice practices against the colored people, made the following sweeping declaration: "The question of religion must be studied racially. Racial questions are among the most important considerations of the hour. We hear persons talk of the Negro question, but this is a question of minor importance. The Negro is an American. He speaks English. He is vastly more American than many of us who affect to be his superior. He is taking care of his own question in an interesting way. The sorts of Russia were liberated before Mr. Linsdin issued his emancipation proclamation. The Negro in America has made vastly greater strides in the acquisition of property, in the possession of education and in the development of Christian life than have the sorts of Russia. "The whole problem in America is finding its own solution. Perhaps the greatest danger we have today is with the ignorant white people rather than with the Negro. "There are enormously difficult racial questions in several states today, but they are largely questions affecting the white race rather than the Negro. "The Anglo-Saxon race is autocratic, proud and self-opinionated. It is extremely hard to get on with it in many parts of the word. It treats not only the black race, but also the brown race, as if both races were greatly inferior." JENKINJONES NOTES This operation is still forging its way to the front. It may now safely boast of producing some of the best coal that is to be found throughout the Pocahontas division. The mechanics are kept busy these days pushing to completion the ni school buildings to be occupied as soon as the schools open. There is practically no sickness on this operation. The climatic conditions being the best and the strict sanitary conditions which prevail go far toward preventing sickness. Rev. J. H. Hammond, of Jenkinjones, one of the best citizens of McDowell county and a man, who, when he makes money knows what to do with it, a man who has done much toward the educational split of his race, is now the accredited agent for the McDowell Times. He will take your subscriptions, write up the local happenings and keep you well informed on all public questions through the McDowell Times. If your paper doesn't reach you regularly, see Rev. Hammond. Hon. H. C. Fink, ex-Justice of the Peace, whose decision was never reversed, one of the leading rock-ribbed Republicans in the county and who it is now the head book keeper for the big coal company at Jenkinjones, was heard to say that that the great effort of that operation was to prevent crime, disease and anything else that tended to reflect discredit and on the other hand to make peace, establish the spirit of accord both socially and politically and to contend for the best for all peoples along all lines. A man like that and a company whose motto is so unique deserves the compliments of every body. Supt. Adkinson is to be congratulated for the general contentment and happiness of his men, which, in short, is a strong attestation of impartial dealings. Frank Clark, formerly of Switchback, and James Flemmings are running two very nice boarding clubs. SCHOOL OPENING All the Grammar Schools in Browns Creek District will open on Monday, Sept. 1, except a few schools for which the buildings will not be completed. The schools that will start one month later are: Church, East Vivian, Laurel, Big Sandy, (col). The Browns Creek District High School will open Sept. 10. Parents are advised to start their children at the beginning of school. The Truncancy law will be vigorously enforced again this year. MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION BE.

FRIDAY AUGUST 22, 1913 BRAVE OFFICERS Constable John Claxton, of the North fork District, showed remarkable nerve in the shooting affair at Clarke Thursday day. After being shot in the right hand and left arm, the second shot causing him to fall over an embankment into the creek, he clambered up the bank and shot the bad Bob Love causing instant death. The lesson taught by the death of Love who assaulted a Justice of the Peace, shot a Constable twice and fired at two special officers several times, should be a warning to other "bad men" to respect the law and ever remember that "going over the mountain" is not the easy game it was fifteen years ago. Instead of defying the law and crossing the mountain, they now either take the long and some trail while attempting to escape or dangle at the end of a rope in Moundsville. Bad men are out of place in McDoweli county. PROTEST AGAINST SEGBEGATION The open letter written by the officers of the Association for the Advancement of Colored People to President Wilson has the true ring; it is a just and timely protest against a policy inaugurated by some government officials at the behest of such men as Vardaman, Hoke Smith, and other rabid southerners who detest the educated Negro. For fifty years white and black employees of the government have worked side by side without friction. Why then is it necessary during the reign of Wilson, the Christian, to further humiliate a people who have served their country faithfully for 200 years? Do the President and other leaders wish to see aggregation carried to its logical conclusion? Are they willing to give the Negro a new states and permit him to govern himself? O. is this latest move on the part of high officials only the placing of the government stamp of approval upon the "Jim Crow" policy of the South? Does the government wish to further encourage distrustishment, discrimination and lynching? If the President allows this nefarious scheme to be adopted in the government departments he sanctions every crime that is being committed in this lawless country against the Negro. Fair minded men the world over are watching the President. BAD MAN KILLED Bob Love Shoots Officer Twice And Is Shot By Officer Bob Love, known throughout this section as a dangerous gun man got his on Thursday between three and four o'clock p. m., in the town of Clark. Love had trouble with a man in Keystone a few days ago and was arrested and fined for assault and battery. In order to get even with the man who had him arrested, he had a warrant issued charging him with contending with an angry and threatening word. The case was tried before Justice William Howard in Clark yesterday and dismissed. Love became offended because he had to pay costs amounting to five dollars and curse the Justice, Constable and witnesses, even threatened their lives. Justice Howard ordered him to cease using profanity in his court and, after extended fine and imprisonment upon failure to do so, whereupon Love went into the loom in the adjoining room. While Justice Howard was leaning over talking to his little son, Love struck him a terrific blow in the face. Squire Howard ordered Constable Caxton, who was near by, to arrest Love, who backed out meaning that he would not be arrested. John Thomas and Mr. Paxton, who were nearby, were deputized to assist the Constable. They took hold upon him and sent him and to go with them but the police would be asked them to to take his watch and $20 gold there fob out of his shirt pocket because he did not wish to take them in jail. While the officers were getting the fob out of the button hole he put his hand up pretending to assist in loosening the fob but instead he whipped out of his shirt an automatic pistol. Constable Claxton caught the pistol and was shot through the right hand, other shots were fired at Paxx and Thomas, who ran to cover. Another shot was fired, taking effect in the left arm of Constable Claxton's left arm of Constable Claxton above the elbow. Claxton fell over an embankment eight feet high into the Elkhorn Creek with a hole in his right hand and left arm. He scrambled out of the creek with revolver in hand and ordered Love is bolt. Love continued to run, attempting to fire his pistol at the same time. The pistol got hung and refused to fire. And Constable Claxton fired upon him, the bullet entering Love's left side and causing death in a few minutes. Love had fired six shots and had an extra loaded magazine with nine cartridges. Love was a desperate character in these parts for sometime. Claxton had a preliminary hearing before Mayor C. C. Hale, of Keystone, on Thursday night and was exonerated. ESTIMATES FOR THE CITY OF KEYSTONE STATE OF WEST VIRGINIA, COUNTY OF McDOWELL, CITY OF KENSTONE, TO-WE: At a special session of the council of the city of keystone, W.
